Chapter 23: The Alphas Meeting

Seated at a long rectangular table in a grand hall that looked like an abandoned castle were twelve Alphas and a middle-aged man who sat at the head of the table. This man was named Celphias; he was known to be the only Elder seen among the five Elders and was highly respected by all Alphas.

Celphias cleared his throat and said, "I’m guessing you all already know why we are here."

With a scowl on his face, Alpha Emerson looked at Celphias and asked, "Are we going to talk about how Alpha Tristan went against the Elders and married a woman of unknown origin?"

Tristan, who had his eyes covered with his dark glasses, chuckled and said, "I never knew a man who rejected his mate to marry her sister would be so interested in who I marry. It’s a shame Xylia didn’t have a sister; perhaps I would have been tempted to go for her instead."

Alpha Elywnn laughed softly and didn’t care that Emerson was glaring at him.

"That’s enough. Alpha Tristan’s insult to the Elders by marrying a woman not chosen by one of them will definitely not go unpunished, but now, we need to talk about the Ferals. Those bastards are getting out of control, and we still haven’t been able to catch one." Celphias angrily.

"I was able to catch one," Alpha Elywnn said.

Celphias looked at Elywnn in surprise. "You were? How come we know nothing about this?"

Elywnn shrugged and said, "He infiltrated my pack and tried to assassinate me, but luckily, the great Alpha Tristan was paying me a visit, and with his help, I was able to catch him."

"You flatter me." Alpha Tristan said playfully.

Elwyn’s playful smile left his face as he said, "I got nothing from him."

"What do you mean you got nothing from him? Do you need me to question him for you?" Alpha Richard said.

Alpha Richard was a man known for his rough edges, and the unhealable scar on his face was enough to tell one how rough he really was. Rumors said that he had a fight with a witch who had cursed him, but regardless of these rumors, when it comes down to torturing people, Alpha Richard was the right man for it; maybe that is why he fit so well in the mafia world.

Elwynn sighed, and his playful aura returned as he said, "How come I didn’t think of you? After all, you are known for your torturing skills. I would do well to contact you next time."

"What do you mean, next time?" Celphias asked with a frown.

"Because he is dead."

"You let him die without giving out any information. How incompetent can you be?" An older Alpha asked.

"Explain yourself, Elywnn." Celphias demanded.

"I may have used too much wolfsbane on him, and as a result of that, he bled to death before he could even heal after cutting off his own tongue." Elwynn replied nonchalantly.

"What?"

"He killed himself."

"It’s obvious these guys would rather die than reveal anything."

"No." Elwynne cut off their whisper. He leaned to his chair and said, "It was more than that."

What do you mean, It was more than that?" Richard asked.

Elwyn frowned as if remembering something and said, "It was as if he couldn’t speak."

Tristan frowned as Elywnn continued to talk.

"It was as if he...he was being controlled. I saw the fear of death in his eyes, and that is why I didn’t take any precaution to ensure he didn’t kill himself, but coming back the next day to see him dead made me wonder if I saw wrongly."

"Perhaps you saw wrongly, and that mistake had caused us a valuable lead to finding out what these people really want."

"Celphias, you told us that the Ferals are a group of wolves who had lost their minds as a result of losing their mates or a traumatic event. How sure are you about this information?" Tristan asked.

Everyone looked at Tristan because he wasn’t one to usually give inputs in meetings. There were times they forgot that he was even in their midst.

Milton, who had been quiet, kept observing Tristan. His witch, Kia, had told him that the pill was very strong, and even though it had been a day since he gave Aria the pills, he was eager to see a sign that Aria had indeed begun giving those poisonous pills to Tristan.

"I won’t say I am hundred percent sure, and the reason for that theory was because of a man named Adam. That man loved his mate so much, and they had a deep connection, but when she died, he disappeared for a year. After a year, I saw him again, his teeth longer than those of a normal werewolf, and his eyes dark red. He attacked me like a madman, and I was surprised by his strength; the Adam I knew was an Omega, so where did such strength come from? I was about to give him the finishing blow when another one attacked me from behind, and they both escaped." Celphias explained.

Milton scoffed and said, "Our Alpha Tristan here has also lost his mate, but yet he doesn’t seem to have lost his mind yet."

Elwynn laughed softly and jested, "Maybe he has, but he is just good at hiding it."

Tristan kept quiet and didn’t bother to answer them.

Celphias glanced at Tristan and asked, "Do you have some thoughts regarding this?"

"I think we had the wrong idea all this time. I’m starting to think that these untamed wolves didn’t just become that way because they lost their mate. If what Elywnn said is true, then it seems as if they are being controlled."

"Could it be by a witch? I knew the alliance with the witches was never going to last." Another Alpha said.

"Impossible. How can a mere witch control so many werewolves?" Alpha Emerson replied.

Tristan was about to reply when he felt a sharp pain in his heart. It was as if someone was stabbing his heart brutally with a knife, and the pain was so strong that a bead of sweat gathered at his forehead. If he wasn’t already used to pain, then he would have been gasping for breath by now.

As the pain kept increasing, Tristan knew something was wrong. His Aitana was currently in danger.
